Methods and systems for automatically bypassing short message service center for short message service (SMS) messages destined for predetermined short message peer-to-peer (SMPP) destinations

a technology of short message service and short message, applied in the field of automatic bypassing a short message service center for sms messages destined for predetermined short message peer-to-peer destinations, can solve the problems of network inability to handle peak sms message traffic or over-engineering, and achieve the effect of reducing the need to over-engineer the smsc capacity in the network

Benefits of technology

[0010] According to the present invention, rather than routing such messages directed to short codes to an SMSC for delivery, such messages are sent to an STP and diverted to a short message gateway that bypasses the SMSC. Other SMS messages, such as mobile terminated SMS messages, may be routed through the SMSC as normal. Because messages addressed to certain destination types can bypass the SMSC, the need to over-engineer the SMSC capacity in a network is reduced.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, networks are either unable to handle peak SMS message traffic or are over-engineered.

Embodiment Construction

[0026] According to one aspect, the present invention includes an STP with a short message gateway that bypasses a short message service center for SMS messages destined for predetermined SMPP destinations. Referring to FIG. 3, the exemplary network includes an STP with a short message gateway 300, a mobile switching center 302, a short message service center 304, and SMPP destinations 306 and 308. In the illustrated example, SMPP destination 306 is assumed to be a short code destination, and SMPP destination 308 is assumed to be a non-short-code destination.

[0027] Similar to the example illustrated in FIG. 1, MSC 302 forwards mobile originated SMS traffic to STP 300. The global title address in the mobile originated SMS traffic is set to that of SMSC 304. STP 300 global title translates the messages such that the messages are routed to an internal short message gateway within STP 300, rather than SMSC 304. The short message gateway within STP 300 identifies messages that can be de...

Abstract

Methods and systems for automatically bypassing a short message service center for short message service (SMS) messages destined for predetermined SMPP destinations are disclosed. A signal transfer point may receive SMS messages that are global title addressed to a short message service center. The signal transfer point may internally route such messages to a short message gateway. The short message gateway may identify SMS messages destined for predetermined SMPP destinations and forward those messages to the destinations in a manner that bypasses the SMSC. For other SMS messages, the short message gateway may forward these messages to the SMSC for delivery.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 542,503, filed Feb. 6, 2004; the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present invention relates to methods and systems for processing SMS messages. More particularly, the present invention relates to bypassing a short message service center for SMS messages destined for predetermined SMPP destinations. BACKGROUND ART [0003] In mobile communications networks, it is now possible to send short text messages, referred to as short messages or short message service (SMS) messages, using mobile handsets. Some SMS messages may be sent from mobile handsets to other mobile handsets. Such SMS messages are referred to as mobile-terminated SMS messages. Other SMS messages are intended for non-handset destinations, such as machine destinations. An example of a machine destination is a voting machine that accepts SMS message...
